I'm not too concerned about the reviwership but more about committership
from a security point of view.

I don't think a lot of committers are going to monitor their old SVN
accounts and update passwords periodically.  Having lots of inactive SVN
accounts isn't that helpful.

Maybe I didn't phrase it correctly, but I'm suggesting more of suspension
so that we have a smaller attack surface for SVN credentials.
